A tentative trial date has been set in the case of Isaac Sanders, former vice president for advancement at East Stroudsburg University, who allegedly made unwanted sexual advances toward six male students.

During a phone conference Wednesday between the plaintiffs, defendants and U.S. District Judge Robert Mariani, it was decided that a jury trial will begin Oct. 28 at the William J. Nealon Federal Building in Scranton.

The 2009 lawsuit portrays Sanders as a sexual predator who tried to trade scholarships and campus jobs for physical intimacy with unwilling young men. Three of the students eventually had their claims dismissed, because the statute of limitations had expired.
